MAC Archie's Girls Collection SWATCHES

K, so you all have no idea how fun this collection is for me. A little story for ya... When I was little, I was obsessed with getting those thick little Archie Comic digest books at the grocery store. I loved them. So much that my car is named, ahem, Veronica. Yeah I have no shame.
And I name my cars.

Ok back to the makeup... I think this is such a cute collection idea. The sweet, girl-next-door shades in the Betty half of the collection are offset by the deeper, more vivacious colors in the Veronica half. Just in time for Valentine's Day.

The packaging is absolutely presh. With the likeness of either Betty and Veronica printed on their correlating products. Little sweet hearts and the comic likenesses of Betty, Archie, and Veronica make for such fun and happy packaging, reminiscent of the 1950's. SO cute, I can't even take it.

So while I was (obviously) instantly charmed by the collection itself and the packaging, the products and colors are the most impressive part. Which I have definitely not been able to say about a MAC collection in a very long time. Let's face it, the quality of the products IS the most important part.

Since I wanted to keep this post all about the swatches and photos, I'll save my specific thoughts for my video review which you can check out here or at the bottom of the page. So don't miss that if you want more of my thoughts on this collection and my must-have items.

So without further ado, here's the swatchy goodness...

*Keep in mind, this is not the entire collection, just the products I received.

I love this collection so much!! My brother used to take me to the comic book store with him and he would always let me pick one Betty & Veronica every visit. And my mom told me that I was almost a Veronica because she loved B&V too. <333

I love Archie comics, so I would probably buy something from the collection even if the products themselves weren't appealing! These all look great though, especially the blushes, facepowders & lipglasses!

Honestly, I'm not really feeling this collection at all. As much as I love Archie & especially when Betty & Veronica had their own spin-off comic, I don't like any of these. I feel like the colors are very adolescent, which I guess does play into the comics. But meh... I think I'll pass on this collection. (Sorry for those who actually like it or are looking forward to it. It's just my honest opinion.)

I was wondering when this would pop up with a review from you! haha The collection looks really cute. I (used to) have long dark hair and (still, haha) dark features in college while one of my best friends was completely Betty with the blonde hair and blue eyes. We used to joke we were Betty and Veronica and I am thinking about sending her a little Betty part of this collection for a surprise!

Thanks so much for sharing these products! I am wondering about the products that were proscribed by your AZ dermatologist. You said they have done wonders for your skin and I would like to try them, so I'm just wondering if it would be easy to get a prescription or if it was like a special circumstance? Thanks again for sharing this info!obagi nu derm starter kit
